Roshan Chhabaria is a highly accomplished artist known for his unique and thought-provoking body of work. He holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts (B.V.A.) degree in Painting, which he earned with a prestigious Gold medal in 2011, followed by a Master of Visual Arts (M.V.A.) in Painting with yet another Gold medal in 2013, both from Maharaja Sayajirao University in Baroda. Roshan's artistic journey has been marked by recognition and accolades, including the Gujarat Lalit Kala Award in 2008 and the Nasreen Mohamedi Scholarship in 2009-2010, which underscore his exceptional talent and dedication to the world of art.
Chhabaria's art is deeply rooted in his personal experiences, having grown up in a middle-class Sindhi family. His work reflects the constant expectations, familial aspirations, sensibilities, and concerns that shaped his upbringing. Over the years, the concept of the "middle-class" has become a central theme in Roshan's art, characterized by humor, double meanings, and a playful exploration of kitschy and garish aesthetics. Through the use of text, both found and self-written, and a distinctive questioning aesthetic, he challenges conventional notions of what is deemed "good" or acceptable, straddling the line between two worlds with wit and creativity. Based in Vadodara, Gujarat, India, Roshan Chhabaria continues to captivate audiences with his unique artistic perspective and engaging visual narratives.
